Today we will continue to talk a bit more on swine flu or more accurately what is starting to look like a massive overreaction by government.  Our larger topic though is going to be about a simple question… In a survival situation which response is better, a swift instinctual response or a well planned logical response? With that in mind today’s show notes are very brief just tune in and hear my take on this question along with an interesting story about what I learned when I coughed (more accurately cleared my throat) at Starbucks recently.  Another quick question what … Continue reading →

My view is yes, sooner or later it is inevitable due to declines in production and resources and expansion of population.  I also think we should not engage in alarmism at this point either.  Much like peak oil this is a real problem that will get worse but over a rather long period of time, not tomorrow morning. Today we also briefly discuss the defection of Republican Arlen Spector and we do another swine flu (h1n1) update. Tune in today to hear… A news caster that should have his ass kicked New swine flu cases in my back yard Don’t … Continue reading →

Episode-189- Peak Oil – Fact? Fiction? Or Both?

Today we discuss the concept of peak oil and what it means in the coming two decades.  Is the oil going to run out?  Will capacity exceed demand, will it create more wars?  Regardless of environmental wackos, global warming hoaxes and carbon credits what does it all actually mean for the individual and what should you be doing about it. Today we also do a brief update on the Swine Flu (now called the North American Flu), a bit about the truth vs. the myths of what went wrong in 1976 with a different variant of the Swine Flu and … Continue reading →

Today we discuss the recent events around the H1N1 variant of swine flu currently on every radar screen from local news to the CDC.  Is the big pandemic finally here?  Don’t get ahead of yourself there is a real risk of epidemic or even pandemic here there is also a large probability that this will end up being a non event and overreaction may be worse the the flu itself. Today we discuss.. This is an H1N1 and so was the Spanish Flu but these are not the same Have you found holes in your preps because this has made … Continue reading →

Today’s show is about conspiracy theories and those that believe them, more those that believe in ALL of them.  I want to be clear this is NOT a typical episode of TSP, I actually wonder if I wasted today’s show with this subject but I needed to give answers to a lot of this stuff I constantly get questions about. If this show is not your cup of tea, listen to an archived show today, you have been warned, (grin).

In 1991-1992 at the age of 19 I took part in something called “Operation Furetes Caminos” as part of a detachment to the 536th Combat Engineers.  From Dec 91 – June of 92 we worked to carve 10 miles of road into the Honduran interior in one of the harshest environments in the world.  While there I learned a lot about life, survival and I learned how that which seems desolate and harsh can show you some of the most beautiful things the world has to offer. Join me today on another time travel event back to 1992 as we … Continue reading →

This is a question I get quite often when I discuss my show with people be they individuals or the media.  Generally they are expecting some sort of answer about the end of the world coming or something like that.  Of course TEOTWAWKI threats are out there, they exist but they are not my main motivation.  I also don’t think they are the main reason most people choose prepping as a lifestyle. Tune in Today to Hear… My number one motivation for prepping, I don’t want to be anyone’s slave How debt creates slavery How government support creates slavery Why … Continue reading →

In 1970 our nation first became a net importer of oil, join today’s show as I discuss the parallel of this event and its’ impact over 30 years to the fact that the US just became a net importer of food in early 2008.  Join me today as we discuss… The US, The UK, China, Japan, India and Malaysia are now all Net Food Importers How our conversion to a net food importer is very similar to our status as a net oil importer How oil imports started climbing in the 50s and then outweighed native production by 1990 Exactly … Continue reading →
